QUESTION: How can I get my child support reduced? I pay $800 a month in child support and now I have a new family to take care of too. I don't make enough to do all this. What can I do to get my child support reduced so I can live too?
MY RESPONSE: File an Order to Show Cause to modify Child Support requesting a Family Code Section 4071(a)(2) hardship deduction, and in your factual supporting declaration, address the minor children of your new family that you have to support (your new wife doesn't qualify for reducing your support), in an effort for the court to reduce the amount of support you have to pay for your supported child.
You would best be represented in your OSC by an experienced Family Law Attorney, inasmuch as it is discretionary as to whether or not the Court will grant you a hardship deduction for the children of your new family.
